BRIDGEPORT, Pa. --
California Polytechnic State University continues to hold
a grip on the No. 1 ranking in the Women's National Collegiate Club
Top 20 Poll as the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA)
released the Week 9/March 24 edition of the rankings.

Ranked No. 1 since the preseason
poll following back-to-back-to-back National Collegiate Club

Overall, the poll remains identical
to the March 17 balloting as all 23 teams which appeared in this

newcomer to the rankings is Duke University which garnered two
points to stand three points shy of cracking the Top 20.

In the Top 10, the
University of Michigan, the University of
California-Davis, the University of California-Los
Angeles and the University of
California-Berkeley hold down the No. 2-5 spots, while the
University of California-Santa Cruz, the
University of Oregon, the University of
Notre Dame, the University of California-San
